Abstract
We report a head-mounted photoacoustic fiberscope for cerebral imaging in a freely behaving mouse. The 4.5-gram imaging probe has a 9-µm lateral resolution and 0.2-Hz frame rate over a 1.2-mm wide area. The probe can continuously monitor cerebral oxygenation and hemodynamic responses at single-vessel resolution, showing significantly different cerebrovascular responses to external stimuli under anesthesia and in the freely moving state. When mice subjected to high-concentration CO2 respiration, enhanced oxygenation to compensate for hypercapnia can be visualized in freely moving state. Comparative studies exhibit significantly weakened compensation capabilities in obese mice. This new imaging modality shows promise in neuroscience studies.
